Audience Member Mildly entertaining drama about young, beautiful, selfish, hedonists trying to avoid responsibility so as to focus on their young, beautiful, selfish, hedonistic lives. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Crappy thriller. When a pretty rich girl, her boyfriend, friend and the son of her fathers loaded business partner go on a boat trip things go tits up when the son of the girls dads partner tries it on with her and ends up in a fight with the boyfriend, ending with him being thrown off the boat into the ocean and left alone. The three friends' relationships are put to the test as they work out how to get out of the situation as it appears the man they threw in the water can't swim. Dead in the Water is meant to be a compelling, powerful, twisty-turny thriller but is actually quite dull and fairly predictable with half arsed performances. It looks shit to, like something channel 5(or some US/European etc equivalent!) would put on on a Tuesday evening. The twist is crap to, you won't give a shit. Dominique Swain looks good though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member All the characters are one dimensional selfish people. So what happens to them in the end is exactly what you hope for Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked this one. It's on instant watch Netflix right now. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Hey you...get off of my yacht Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member ~~NoT ToO BaD MoViE~~ Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
